Win an Active Adventure Break to Windermere

Win an Active Adventure Break to Windermere and Travel Car-Free

This is your chance to win an amazing getaway to the Lake District, Cumbria with one night stay including dinner and breakfast for two people at The Lamplighter Dining Rooms in Windermere, along with attraction passes to Treetop Nets at Zip World Windermere, plus Freedom of the Lake Tickets courtesy of Windermere Lake Cruises. 

The lucky winner will receive combined tickets courtesy of TransPennine Express who operate a number of services from locations including Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and with Northern Trains, transporting the lucky winner to the pretty Lakeland town of Windermere thanks to its centrally located station.

Windermere’s rich history is reflected in its historic roots and the growth spurred by the Victorian era. The arrival of the town’s train station in 1847 boosted tourism to the area. Today, visitors to the area can enjoy scenic routes including Orrest Head - one of Wainwrights favourite fells which begins opposite the train station and offers an accessible path to the top, to the selection of the town’s independent shops including an array of local produce, an abundance of places to eat, drink, and more. 

Arriving to Cumbria by train is quick and easy from a number of cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, with many direct services offered by Avanti West Coast, TransPennine Express and Northern Trains transporting visitors to this beautiful part of the country, so why not leave the car behind and make the journey part of the experience.

TransPennine Express

TransPennine Express run regular services to Carlisle, Penrith and Oxenholme, for the Lake District, from Manchester Airport, Manchester, Liverpool, Preston, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Travel on one of TransPennine Express’ new state of the art trains with loads more seats, bigger tables, more plug sockets, improved food & drink offer and complimentary Wi-Fi. Save over 50% on your train travel when you book in advance online. Subscribe to TransPennine Express emails to get access to special offers, exclusive competitions, and the best travel tips directly to your inbox.

Northern Trains

Northern Trains plays a vital role in the north of England by connecting tens of thousands of people to work, leisure, education and more every day. You can leave the car at home and travel all around Cumbria by rail. From the high-speed London to Scotland West Coast Main line, you can hop off at Oxenholme onto a Northern service that takes you to the heart of the lakes at Windermere.

Northern operates a frequent service on the line. The equally beautiful Cumbrian Coast route promises breathtaking sea views. The journey takes in the historic market town of Ulverston, the Edwardian seaside resort of Grange of Sands and the harbor at Whitehaven. Northern operate regular trains from Lancaster to Carlisle via Barrow.

Windermere Lake Cruises operates a range of boat trips from their piers, offering breathtaking scenery and a variety of experiences.  For those who want to explore at their own pace, the Freedom of the Lake ticket grants unlimited boat hopping for 24 hours therefore is a fantastic way to explore the area, giving you time to incorporate scenic walks and viewpoints, explore attractions, enjoy a bite to eat and more.
